Linderoth scores winner in friendly

Sweden began their Euro 2008 preparations with a narrow 1-0 victory over Slovenia. Tobias Linderoth scored the winning goal as he latched onto a clever pass from Chrsitian Wilhelmsson in the 41st minute and powered past the Slovenian defence. Henrik Larsson, returning to the side after changing his mind about international retirement, missed two chances to extend Sweden's lead as they improved after a slow start. Sweden will face Ukraine in another friendly on Sunday before beginning their Group D campaign against defending European champions Greece on 10th June. Spain and Russia are the two other sides in Sweden's group.
